How do you create lesson plans?
The ability to deliver a well-designed lesson in which students gain meaningful knowledge and/or advance in their conceptual understanding is an integral part of being an effective teacher. As such, it is important to take the time to reflect on how you (would) approach lesson planning and delivery. Consider a basic concept from your field that you will need to teach. Keeping this concept in mind, how would you answer the following poll on lesson planning and delivery?
Poll 1: Which of the following lesson plan frameworks do or would you use to deliver an effective lesson?
Based on your answer to the poll, as well as the results obtained from your peers, reflect on the questions below:
- Why would you or do you use your chosen lesson planning approach?
- How does or will this approach support you in delivering an effective lesson?
- How detailed and fixed are your lesson plans? Are you willing to alter plans based on your students’ prior knowledge, feedback, and backgrounds?
- What, if any, are the drawbacks to your approach, and how do you address them?
Your reflection should not exceed 300 words.
